A pakistani court has ordered that two men have their ears and noses cut off, as punishment for doing the same to a woman who refused to marry one of them.

The two brothers were found guilty of kidnapping 20-year-old Fazeelat Bibi, one of their cousins, in September.

The judge in Lahore also sentenced them to life in prison.

Sentence was passed on Monday under a rarely invoked Islamic law dating from the 1980s. In the past similar sentences have been revoked on appeal.
Maybe I'm just a bit wrong in the head, but it brought a wry smile to my face to read that sentencing - although it sounds like it may be revoked.

Heard of a similar story for an acid attack a few months back - I wonder if that was actually carried out.

Thoughts? And if you get an uncontrollable urge to wring your hands, imagine if it was done to your wife or child.
